Hello all --
Are the MS44-AA and MS44L-AA the same?
If not, what's the difference? Can I use an
MS44L-AA in place of an MS44-AA???

No, not exactly. The MS44L uses 60ns EDO SIMMs.
The MS44 is a different speed grade, but I cannot
find out exactly what right now.
The suffix indicates the total memory size but
some of the sizes are achieved by shipping
multiple SIMMs of a smaller size. Again, I
used to have a chart but that seems to be hiding
right now.
The original MS44 was used in systems like the
VAXstation 3100-76 and the DECsystem 5100. I
think the VS3100-76 used the MS44-BA 8MB part
(4 for a max. memory of 32MB, which could be
purchased with a part no. of MS44-DA).
The MS44L was a later part intended for use in
the VAXstation 4000 series (and probably the
MicroVAX 3100 models later than the M10/M20[e]).
I think the VS3100-76 could make use of the
4MB MS44L part, but don't quote me on that.

Thanks for the info! I have a VS3100-76 with only
28MB and would like to increase the RAM, so I'll
try the MS44L in it and see . . .
